A male character on the show has sex with a transgender character without her revealing her former-gender (extremely unlikely, IMHO, despite the fact that it's one of Hollywood's most popular transgender storylines), and when he finds out, he spews vomit for thirty seconds, then freaks out while another character compares the transgender person to a sex offender? And MacFarlane thinks the transsexual community will be "very, very happy" and that this is the most sympathetic television portrayal of such a character ever?

I can see myself giving a positive review to something I enjoyed but professed beliefs I didnt agree with, but I cannot imagine myself giving a thumbs-up to a piece of shit whose opinions I supported.

Michael Moore is such a divisive figure that even people who subscribe to his political beliefs frequently hate his guts. I am one of those people. I believe in just about everything Moore says, and find everything about him insufferable.

''So OK. Lets say you know the novel, you agree with Ayn Rand, youre an objectivist or a libertarian, and youve been waiting eagerly for this movie. Man, are you going to get a letdown. Its not enough that a movie agree with you, in however an incoherent and murky fashion. It would help if it were like, you know, entertaining?

Theres a great quote, Theres nothing I like less than an opinion that I hold dear being argued badly. With Fletcher, I twisted that a little to like, Theres maybe nothing worse than a philosophy that you normally would agree with, but put in the mouth of a fucking despicable human being. Suddenly the human being and the philosophy become inseparable.
